  SAP Error Message:
  WS114 Balance of &1 &2 exists between tax codes &3 and &4
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs during tax or financial document processing in SAP, especially in the context of tax code clearing or tax account reconciliation.
  
  The system has detected that there is a balance (open amount) between two tax codes (&3 and &4) for a particular combination of company code (&1) and fiscal year (&2).
  This means that the tax amounts for these two tax codes are not fully cleared or offset against each other, resulting in an open balance.
  It often arises when you try to clear or reconcile tax accounts, or during tax reporting, and the system expects these tax codes to be balanced (net to zero) but finds a difference.
  
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  When performing tax clearing or tax account reconciliation.
  During posting or clearing of tax-related documents.
  When running tax reports
